Every year I find a plethora of music that would fit perfectly on my year end music lists. Unfortunately, a large majority of the music I discover is from years before and therefore disqualified from my arbitrary year end list making rules. That's why I've decided to make a list of the favorite artists and songs I discovered last year whose music was actually released previous to 2012. There can only be so many Rodriguez's out there, so the majority of my list consists of bands from the past few years who forever reason [...]

Longe vão os tempos em que da Dinamarca só chegavam biscoitos e músicas da EuroVisão. O país do mais famoso contador de história, Hans Christian Andersen, deixou um legado de cantautores que inspirados ou não na tradição folclórica dinamarquesa apresentam ao mundo trabalhos tão profundos quanto o seu passado. Da península chegam-nos bandas que cantam, em geral, num inglês doce e delicado, bandas sonoras para passeatas no bosque ou para aqueles pores-do-sol que só os nórdicos sabem fazer. Os Veteranos | Vários são os críticos que afirmam que a Europa chegou atrasada à cena grunge [...]
Het gaat me hopelijk geen tweede keer gebeuren dan ik een doorbrekende artiest zo over het hoofd zie als bij Florence + The Machine. Om het goed te maken introduceer ik je graag aan Elenne May. Zeker als de stijl van eerdergenoemde Florence je kan bekoren, dan raad ik je zeker aan om hier eens verder te lezen en luisteren over Misleadingly Soft, het debuutalbum van Elenne. De titel Misleadingly Soft waarschuwt je terecht om je niet te laten misleiden. En het openingsnummer Oceans in Motion is hier meteen de eerste proef in. Het nummer begint zweverig en [...]
Lately, I've been really fascinated by colors triggered by emotions in one's brain. That is to say, if you were to get beneath a cat scan or MRI while having specific types of emotions and look at the colors that are activated in your mind, what would you find? Entire pools of red and yellow when angry? Primarily cool blue tones when you're relaxed? And are those colors ever known to us, even if we can't see them for ourselves? Like, do we have some strange intuitive sense as to what is going on in our heads? Specifically, in relation [...]
Agnes Obel "Brother Sparrow" "Picture fresh as water clear Days have passed without you here Street lights dancing on the dark across the park Waiting for a word from you, waiting for a sign or two Footsteps on the city ground, you know the sound" I have mentioned before that I have a really unhelpful power of discovering and liking artists a year or two after they released music rather than [...]
Agnes Obel - Beast This is a Danish singer-songwriter making absolutely gorgeous music and largely unknown in the West. She played SxSW last year and is building an audience here, and I highly recommend you give her a listen. Her simple melody’s are a joy, and everything is written and performed herself. // http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A gnes_Obel // http://www.agnesobel.com/
For Puff Daddy and company, it's all about the benjamins. For MUF, it's all about getting that REM sleep with some good indie sleep music . For our followers, you already dug into Sleep Music Vol. 1 , which featured some ridiculously sleepy songs with the likes of Bon Iver and Tycho (both on our top 100 songs of 2011 ). Remember, we're not going mainstream on you, so you probably haven't heard any of these songs. The truth about these sleep lists is I made them for my wife, who [...]
Elliott Smith wrote some of the prettiest pop songs ever written. Of course, writing a pretty pop song isn't the same thing as writing an upbeat pop song. "Between the Bars" is a perfect example. The melody is touchingly beautiful and unthreateningly gentle. The lyrics, however, are undeniably troubled. Although the song could double as an unorthodox love song (a popular interpretation of the track), the most likely read is that it's about the threat of impending alcoholism. As the track opens, Smith sings ruefully about "the potential you'll be, but you'll never see / the promises you'll only make." [...]

Nee, ik ga er geen einde aan maken. En nee, ook al klink ik de laatste tijd als Daffy Duck (dat is een heel ander verhaal), dit is geen ode aan de Looney Toons (al verdienen zie die ode natuurlijk wel). Nee, deze Duurt Lang gaat over de heftige confrontatie die ik had toen ik [...]
Released in October 2010, Philharmonics by Danish born, Berlin-based, classically trained pianist Agnes Obel, has been one of the word-of-mouth success stories of the past year. Akin to Anna Calvi’s recent Vicar Street performance, tonight’s show has something of a triumphal end-of-year return about it, both for those in the audience who saw Obel in The Sugar Club in April (Obel also visited Ireland during the summer, for a by-all-accounts spine-tingling set at St. Canice’s Cathedral during the Kilkenny Arts Festival) and for the first-timers the larger venue can accommodate. She is joined by [...]
Ik hoor je denken... Wonderful Life... Was daar niet eerder item over geschreven op Duurt Lang? Ja, dat klopt . Maar in het kader van Zelfde Titel, Ander Nummer, wilde ik het heel even hebben over de -wellicht zelfs iets bekendere- Wonderful Life van de heren van Black. Dat is namelijk een nummer dat sinds die regelmatige terugkerende jaren tachtig al in verschillende gedaantes de revue gepasseerd is. Het is, kortom, één van die nummers die zich graag laat coveren. En laten we eerlijk zijn. Het orgineel was natuurlijk al goed, en is natuurlijk nog steeds een [...]

Tipps für eine Woche voller besserer Musik. Diese Woche mit Musik von zarten, lauten oder verzerrten Gitarren und dem eigenen Glück im Kleiderhaufen. Montag, 14. November 2011 Montag ist Ruhetag! Das gilt nicht nur für die Stammkneipe, sondern auch für Konzertgänger. Eine abendliche Verschnaufpause hat jeder verdient: Mit dem Debüt "Welcome to Condale" von Summer Camp wähnt man sich an einer Teenagerparty während man entspannt auf dem Sofa lümmelt. Dienstag, 15.

After a gig in The Sugar Club in April, a performance at St, Canice's Cathedral in Killkenny and a support slot with Fleet Foxes in Cork, Danish songwriter Agnes Obel will play Vicar Street on Saturday December 10th. Tickets on sale Friday October 7th priced €20 plus fees There is also shows in Letterkenny, Donegal, the Roisin Dubh in Galway and the Triskel Christchurch in Cork.
I go to a lot of gigs and, while the vast majority of them are great, there are a few that definitely leave a mark. And, on very rare occasions, there comes along a gig that is so very special, that it completely stuns you and leaves you in awe of the performer before you. Thursday night, I experienced one of those rare moments. The Kilkenny Arts Festival this year has been incredible. From the Irish and international visual art to the classical music; the theatre [...]
